Meissen

Porcelain has been available in Europe since the 13th Century, but it had to be imported from China. It was mostly of low quality, too, and came at a high price, because the Chinese seldom gave their best wares to foreigners. Europeans tried to copy Chinese porcelain for centuries. 1708 brought success – high quality porcelain could finally be manufactured in Europe; in Meissen. The manufacturer’s mark, the crossed swords in blue, has been in use since 1722 and it is still a symbol of the highest quality porcelain. Meissen celebrated its 300 years anniversary in 2008. Quality has always been the number one priority for Meissen. They have their own quarry, where they source kaolin, also known as china clay, for their production. It takes several years to attain the title of a ‘master painter’ at Meissen. This level of professionalism is clearly evident in the remarkable quality of painting on Meissen porcelain. (cko)
